If the weed was in the 930 when your customer bought it, I'd say he got one smokin' deal!

I worked in security when I was in the Navy. It was recommended to make an appointment with NIS (Naval Investigative Service) to have the drug dog inspect all newly purchased used cars. "It belonged to the previous owner" was not an acceptable excuse if the dogs alerted on your car during a random drug check.

I found a bag in my old Range Rover stuffed under the CD changer. I had driven around with it for months before I came across it. The previous owner let his high school age son drive it so I assume it belonged to him or one of his friends.

A friend of mine once bought a Suburban at auction and couldn't figure out why the 20+ gallon fuel tank would only hold 12 gallons. He took the tank out and found a compartment with cash in it, he never told anyone how much it was but he did say that the Suburban was free.

I used to work at a professional photo lab. Customers would come in and open the plastic film containers to dump out the film so we could figure out what type of film it was. More than a few times a customer would open a can and dump out some funny looking grass clippings or a bunch of talcum powder.

They always got the deer in the headlights look on their faces as they started to scrape it back into the can.

Except in CA where the state regulation requires the Europe `72 tour album.
